Jewish Paris

A walking tour of Jewish Paris from the medieval time to the 20th century.This community has been in Paris since the 1st century and was vibrant. It was one of the biggest in Europe. Its complex history filled with expulsions and returns, persecutions and reconciliations, left many marks all over Paris, but is particularly present in the Marais district. Its narrow streets with many synagogues, museums, art galleries, kosher restaurants, and book stores are the inheritance of their presence.
